the john kerry talked about that some days ago. and then yesterday the president made a point in the photo-op me had with israeli prime minister netanyahu that he wants that to be the first order of bis business by congress. last night eric cantor said republicans are preparing a package. it does look like there's going to be some agreement on this. and, you know, i think the thing that will hold it up more than anything else is probably the new ukrainian government getting organized in a fashion so that they can implement some of the reforms the united states wants to see happen before money goes over there. there's an imf team in kiev just as secretary kerry is. they're due to be there for ten days to try to analyze needs on the ground. and so i do think there is a move forward both in the u.s. government and with our allies to provide some aid, even as we look at signs that may be tensions are receding. >> right. on a day where we're getting our own budget unveiled here for 2015. john, thank you so much as we await the secretary

now, you mentioned secretary kerry going to kiev. that hopefully will calm the waters a little bit, at least keep kiev from doing something unintentionally or that unintentionally as ka lates the situation. but it is now true that the west has mobilized at least diplomatically against vladimir putin's military takeover of crimea. as you say, it's not firmly in his hands. that it's really, julia, unclear what the west can do about it. putin doesn't seem to care very much or is worried very much about international reaction. in terms of sanctions, first of all, not attending the g-8 summit in sochi is strictly symbolic. it's just a meeting. economic sanctions sound good on paper, maybe, but the u.s. has little economic leverage over russia. while eu sanctions might have teeth, europe, of course, is reluctant to go there because they're worried about putin shutting off the gas taps. a military option is not even on the table. so all this while the west has so few options, putin, meanwhile, in or out of touch with reality is saying that
